In case you had any doubts about how much Pitt is the presumed “Big Dog” in the Big East this season, the game at ‘Nova will not be played in their cozy, on-campus court. Instead it will be at the Wachovia Center.

Villanova announced yesterday that its men’s basketball team will host Pittsburgh on Jan. 29 at the Wachovia Center.

The Wildcats will play five regular-season games at the arena, including games against Texas on Jan. 20, Louisville on Feb. 3, Georgetown on Feb. 17, and Syracuse on March 3.

That’s the Big Monday, 7pm  game on ESPN.

There’s still not much to discuss from the Pitt thrashing of 1-AA Citadel. Will Linebacker Tommie Campbell was suspended for this game. It doesn’t take a lot of reading between the lines that it involved skipping some class time.

Wannstedt said Campbell would return to the team today.

“I expect him to be at study hall at 2 o’clock, like everybody else,” Wannstedt said, “and we’ll move forward.”

And it seems Freshman RB Kevin Collier has moved past Redshirt Freshman Shane Brooks on the depth chart.

Dorin Dickerson, Nate Nix and Jason Pinkston still haven’t played, but McKenzie Mathews did.

Nice that Bill Stull got time under center for a good chunk of the game, even if he was just doing a lot of handing the ball off.

Toledo is next. I’m actually worried about this game.

How about that Michigan State implosion last night, huh?
